~h.r..te vsaac e. James,

Isaac E. James, who died Of Bright'i
disease, at the residence of his brother,
Alfred James, in this city, on Tuesday
last, was q remarkable man, whoee los'
will be sincerely mourned in mining
circles of this coast, where he was vel
and widely known. Educated as
Surveyor in Ohio he came early to Cali
fornia, and VAS soon chosen County
Survey of Sierra county, where he laid
out and constructed the first roads over
the Sierra Nevada mountains in that
section. When the Washoe excitement
broke out, in company with SANDY
Baldwin. afterwards United state DIS
trict Judge, Mr.. james went to virginia
C;tv and soon was appointed official
Surveyor for all the great mines OF the
Comstock, position which he held for
twenty wears, with but slight interruP.
t;ons During all the bonanza days,
ho and he alone had full and free access
IN all of the great mines, and knew for q
certainty what work and developments
were being made. and yet, such was his
honesty and uprlghtness that, consider.
ing his position confidential, he re.
earded his information as sacred and
lived and died poor. when millions were
fire. eauently in his hand. During all
these years, making surveys under un-
paralleled difficulties when absolute
accuracy was required, his work was
never questioned, and was always ac-
cepted as final in disputes and In courts.
ODe we'll known case will serve to IL
Iustrate: In 1873 the Belcher and Crown
Point mines had big bonanza in sight
and Mr.. James was absent, laying out the
water system for irrigating the San Joa-
quin valley, when dispute arose be-
tween the mines as to the boundary line
between them in the deep working.
Other prominent, experienced surveyors
could not agree, and serious trouble was
anticipated, when Mr.. james was in
duced to leave his work and make the
survey. His survey was taken without
question as exact, and without further
trouble the Crown Point company paid
the Belcher the sum Of $275, 900.
His work has been great always. He
ran the boundary line between Nevada
and Utah, laid out and constructed the
crooked and remarkable Virginia and
Truckee railroad, origina ed and planned
the immense system of irrigation by
which the deserts of Kern county has
been made to blossom; surveyed the
Colorado desert to. ascertain what made
it, and TO determine the feasibility of re-
claiming it;-and such great works mark
his career.
As miner he was noted as an expert
whose services commanded the highest
fees. He was superintendent OF the
Yellow Jacket and Sierra Nevada mines
of the Comstock, the Contention mine
of Tombstone, the Carlisle mine of New
Mexico, and for the past year has been
mining at Julian.
No man who ever lived had-pr obably
no man who ever will live-can have
such opportunities for mining survey.
ing as Mr.. James had in the Comstock
and in the early mines of California; SO
in this, his chosen business, he was pre-
eminent, and is and doubtless will be
without peer.

The trial of Hugh Karnahan, for
the murder of George Fox, was called
up in the District Court Thursday.
After exh@usting the jury panel but
eight jurors were secured. Mr.. Geo.

then made a plea to transfer the case
as we'll as that of ]. W.. Owens to
Eureka. This was opposed by Dis
trict Attorney Love. Finally a change
to Elko WAS granted In both cases
This will be quite an expense to our
county, as the cost for witnesses will
be heavy. But it cannot be helped as
long as jurymen hold unchanged opin-
ions in murder cases from every ri.
NOR they hear. We learn his Honor
delivered severe reprimand to those
jurymen who claimed TO be biased
simply from reading or hearing of the
case. We do not believe the defend
ants have improved their chances by
the change. In this case, we have as
near as va could, avoided any crit.
cism or even extended notice, lest we
should prejudice the public mind and
make 1t hard 10 obtain a jury. Now
that the case is taken beyond the ju-
risdiction of this county, it is not out
of place for US to say that the murder
of George Fox last Christmas morn
ing was cold-bloded and unprovoked,
and that his slayers deserve no more
sympathy than they showed their un.
fortunate victim. If crime would be
lessensd its perpetrators must be pun
iahed.

At half-past two O'Clock Monday
morning Charley Busy breathed his
last at his home in Osceols. When
the news reached here the same after
noon. it was shock to his many
friends who little expected such re-
suit. About two weeks before Mr..
Busy left here, suffering from rheu-
mstism in the foot, intending to go to
the Hot Springs in Utah. Tarrying
with his family few days at Osceola,
he was taken with typhoid fever,
which quickly did its work. For
several days before the eDd he was in
an unconscious state, unable to recog-
nizs those around his bedside. Mr..
Busy came to White Pine in 1875 and
has been most of the time since in

and miner and put 10 many hard days
work on the hills that lie under the
shadow of Jeff Davis peak. Two
months ago, whine tickle fortune frown.
ed sternly on him and on the old camp
he came to Taylor and opened saloon
in which he was doing a fair business,
and intended to move his family here
shortly. A true specimen ofthe West
ern man was Charley Busy. In
dauntcd by adversely, he was ever
ready to develop new resource for
the one that had failed. Kind and
generous to his fellow man, devoted
husband, kind father and true friend
was he. He leaves devoted wife and
two small children to mourn his loss.
A delegation of old friends went over
from Taylor to pay the last tribute of
respect to his memory. He was
buried last Tuesday afternoon.
Charley, old friend, may the Groupings
on the other Shore be holder, the
lodges and placers richer and the pros

well.

red on the public street in Ely one
afternoon this week. The dramAtis
persona to the affair were an old lady

Governor Adams. The madam had
her dander up and went for the Gov.
ernor, with tongue and claws in a
manner that almost paralyze1 the
lookerS-on. But the Governor, who
10 gallant as he is brave, defended him
self only by protecting his face from
the fierce attack, and assuring his as.
sailant that her conduct proclaimed
her every inch lady. All who wit
messed the affair tell US the assault WAS
entirely unprOvoked. aud the Governor
is highly commended for his forbear-
ance under the trying ordeal. The
Governors asSailant was Mrs. Molli-

friends who will regret to learn she
